AAWAAZ: A communication system for deaf and dumb

The paper proposes a framework for recognizing hand gesture which would serve not only as a way of communication between deaf and dumb and mute people, but also, as an instructor. Deaf and dumb individuals lack in proper communication with normal people and find it difficult to properly express themselves. Thus, they are subjected to face many issues in this regard. The sign language is very popular among them and they use it to express themselves. Thus, there is a need of a proper translator. The deaf and dumb are not idle as past, they are working outside and doing great at it. So an efficient system must be set up, to interact with them, to know their views and ideas. The framework here, act as a communication system for deaf and dumb individuals. It would take the sign language as an input which would display the result not only in the form of text but also in the form of audio. Similarly, if there is any input in the form of text, it would display the corresponding image.
